I believe that life is really simple for a simple man, such as myself. Which is why I can reduce all of life's current events, problems, politics and philosophies into top 5 lists that I don't number because I can't seem to type them from #5 to #1 consecutively without it dancing all over my page. David Letterman does a Top Ten list every week night and has no problems, but I can't seem to launch a measly numerical Top Five list without erupting all over the page like a spastic colon. So here are my numberless Top Five Lists, in no particular order. Full story »
